Staff was excelent! The only problem i had is that the A/C is not strong enough and can get a little hot. I was down at 2 am since i couldnt sleep and they gave me an electric fan and upgraded me to a suite that could regulate the temperature at will, still the A/C was a little lacking but it was enough for me to get comfortable. The hotel staff was great! Breakfast was delicious and the lunch/dinner options were very tasty. Overall I had a wonderful time at this hotel!

Very friendly reception and helpful staff. You can see that cleanliness is a top priority. The food was very good as well. They offer a secure, enclosed parking area that is monitored by cameras next to the hotel.

Place was nice, clean and good service. The bartender Nelson was great. Only thing I didn't care for was being charged $12 extra for parking. I don't think there's a need to pay for parking at a hotel.

El cuarto que nos tocó la verdad estaba sucio igual que el baño, no se esfuerzan en limpiar esquinas y ahi es donde mas polvo y hasta cabellos acumulados. Solicité mas almohadas y al inicio no querian darme hasta que llego una colaboradora y le dijo al de recepción que no habia problema en darnos mas almohadas. Las camas, colchones ya seguramente con muchos años de uso y muy incomodos para pasar una noche placentera. El desayyno sin sabor, lo unico que rescato era el gallopinto, el huevo picado parecia sopa y sin sabor, un salchichon pasado de fuego y una papa frita igualmente al salchichon, pasado de frito, pues estaba hasta dura. Ojala puedan mejorar estos puntos pues su ubicacion si es bastante buena para quienes vamos buscando algo tranquilo, aunque debamos pagar extra por usar un parqueo para nuestro vehículo.
